There is a lot of smuggling in Venezuela, because of their economy, often to neighboring countries like Trinidad or Columbia…while sometimes it is drugs, more often it’s staples, things like coffee, fish, and butter…I’ll wager the administration has no idea, or cares…

Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, more than Saudi Arabia, worth +14 trillion…the administration’s posturing isn’t about drugs, or socialism, it’s about taking over the most oil rich country in the world…why aren’t news agencies reporting this?

Amazingly, I finished Xmas shopping today at my local artisans market, no Amazon or online deals, just local goods produced by independent artisans…ok I did get a few stocking stuffer gift cards from our local brewery/foodie place, but still local!

Yes, who is more likely to regard the sacrifice of people as abhorrent than those who follow a religion centered on celebrating the sacrifice of a person?
